    Silly Willy Winston written to nurture joy of reading, stimulate curiosity and promote self-discovery and acceptance among young readers ages six to eight

    The Wacky World of Silly Willy WinstonLas Vegas, NV, September 25, 2015 – The Wacky World of Silly Willy Winston – An ordinary pet with extraordinary adventures is the first book in the ‘Silly Willy Winston Children’s Book Series’ to be released by author, Donna M. Maguire. Silly Willy Winston, the main character in the series is based on the author’s Basset Hound. According to Maguire the book series was created to satisfy several key objectives. These goals included: (1) To promote literacy by helping to nurture a joy of reading through fun, humorous story telling, (2) To provide a message of love and friendship, not just for others but for the children reading the books as well, and (3) To ignite the young readers’ natural curiosity for the world, the environment and the creatures that inhabit it.

    “It occurred to me that I had the perfect muse to achieve my goals,” Maguire said, his name is Winston but I call him Silly Willy Winston.” He is Maguire’s Basset Hound. According to Maguire, he has the biggest ears ever, a stout frame, huge paws and a super large snout. He trips over his ears and paws often, which makes him a bit of a clown. This never seems to bother him; instead he views people’s laughter as an invitation to make friends. Through his character and actions Silly Willy Winston promotes acceptance of our own differences as well as those of others.
